A recording of the final concert ever performed by Noel Harrison has been released by his wife Lori.

Noel's final performance came in the village of Black Dog in Devon onOctober 19, 2013. Shortly after the show, he suffered a heart attack and later died in hospital.

As well as the final concert, Lori has also loaded several of Noel's final albums and some previously unreleased tracks onto the internet so fans can download them for free.

Discussing her decision to make the recordings available, she said: "I’ve uploaded everything that was allowed and set it up for free downloads as I believe Noel would have liked to know anyone who wanted to hear his music could not only listen but download it as well.

"Noel was music and how lucky we are to have these recordings to remind us of that!"

The final concert,Tex & CP Live at Black Dog, features 23 tracks and includes Noel's final performance of his signature tune, The Windmills of Your Mind.

The highlight of the show however comes after the crowd demands an encore and Noel plays an emotionally charged version of Willie Nelson's 1975 hit, Blue Eyes Cryin' in the Rain.

Following a request from Noel's wife, Lori, this site has now become the official Noel Harrison website.

The change comes after Lori made the decision to close Noel's own website, www.noelharrison.co.uk, following his death in October 2013.

In an email to this site, Lori said: "I cannot begin to tell you how pleased I am that you are going to be taking all this over “officially” as I know it will go on with you at the helm."

Noel was also a big supporter of the site after its launch in 2008.

In one of his last emails to the site in June last year, he said: "I was just on the website, I am so grateful and filled with admiration for all that you are doing/have done for me. There are singles there I don't even remember making!"

Despite becoming the official site, the ethos of www.thewindmillsofyourmind.com will not change - it will continue to be run voluntarily and not-for profit, with absolutely no advertising.

The show also featured tributes to sculptor Sir Anthony Caro and comedian Felix Dexter. To listen to the full show, visit the BBC's website here.

Celebrities and newspapers across the world paid tribute to Noel Harrison after he died aged 79 on Sunday, October 20, 2013.

The singer had a heart attack at his home in Ashburton, Devon on Saturday, October 19 after performing at the village of Black Dog in Devon earlier that night. He died several hours later after being taken to hospital.

The Press Association reported that Noel's wife, Lori, had told them his gig at Black Dog had been extremely successful, but that he had had a long drive home and was exhausted when he returned.

She added: "He will be loved and missed by more people than I ever knew.”

Reacting to the news on Twitter, Noel's Girl From UNCLE co-star, Stefanie Powers, said: "My darling friend Noel Harrison passed last night. Let us all light a candle to speed him on his way - he deserves to fly with the angels."

Music legend, Van Dyke Parks, who worked with Noel on the Murder in China Basin film soundtrack added: "Sad news, Noel Harrison has left us. Beloved friend."

The vast majority of Britain's national newspapers ran lengthy tributes to the singer after his death was announced.

Countless international newspapers and websites also wrote lengthy tributes. To read a selection, go to the cuttings archive.

The tape is from the April 1, 1969 edition of the BBC music show, Scott, which was hosted by singer Scott Walker (pictured far right).

The live recording of the song is only the second known to exist from the 1960s.

Noel appeared on the fourth episode of Scott, which ran for a total of six weeks. Unfortunately, after broadcast, the BBC wiped the tapes, meaning no video of the show exists - but audio recordings were made.

Scott Walker originally found fame as one of the Walker Brothers, but later went on to have a successful solo career.
